From MSNBC.

Since President Trump’s return to office, the Department of Justice has increasingly targeted the president’s critics and opponents, including an investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James, who successfully prosecuted the Trump Organization for fraud. Defense attorney Abbe Lowell, who is representing James, says that Trump’s “retribution” agenda “makes George Orwell’s ‘1984’ look like a Mother Goose nursery rhyme.” “The manipulation of language” from the administration, Lowell says, “makes your head spin." This politicization of the DOJ, Lowell argues, makes “Department of Weaponization” a more fitting name. He says that Trump’s end goal in this, it seems, is a regime where “only Democrats get scrutinized” while Republicans and Trump allies “get a free pass.” Lowell notes that he does not view his work as partisan, and he has represented figures across the political spectrum, including both Ivanka Trump and Hunter Biden. Regardless of party, he argues, “if the government overreaches, then lawyers’ job is to put the government in the right place.”
